Never Give In

Without patience, the vision for your life turns into wishful thinking. Even if your progress feels painstakingly slow, understand that you’re still moving forward, you’re still making strides.

Be patient with yourself. Know that everything doesn’t have to be done today; whatever carries over to tomorrow will be addressed in due time.

At the same time, recognize opportunities, even when they’re disguised: turn a road block into a right-of-way, an obstacle into an open door and pain into a pathway for progress.

Your dreams and the vision for your life are here, right this very minute. They walk with you every moment of every day. To bring them to life requires conscious effort and powerful patience, and you most certainly have the ability to bring your expectations to life. Giving up is not an option; you’re far too strong for that.

Take a moment today and visualize what you want to do. What is your passion? What is your vision? Dissect your dream: how does it feel when your intentions are realized? What does it look like? How will you get there? And why is it so dear to you? Write these things down and post them where you see them every day. In moments where patience is thin, think on these things.
